Chapter 692 The Truth of Reincarnation
"Celestial Dragon" Gordon repeated the name. He raised his head and looked at the great monk Zheng, "Is this the true name of the pure white dragon recorded in the temple inscription?"
The monk was shaking his head, "The inscription never mentions these two 'dragons' directly, it always refers to them with words such as light, shadow, pure white, and darkness.
The term "Tian Yi Long" comes from the word "Tian Yi". I wonder if it would be a little strange when translated into common language. The original text in the ancient dragon language can be understood as "reincarnation of fate" or something like that.
The so-called Celestial Dragon is also the dragon of destiny. "
"Is there any more, more specific information about this creature?"
Anhil asked bluntly: "Judging from the current situation, in order to prevent the endless spread and worsening of the mad dragon disease, we may need to defeat it.
Ecological habits, attribute weaknesses, attack methods, etc. Did the great monk leave any records back then? "
The great monk Zheng was silent for a moment and said: "The description of the Tianyu Dragon itself and the details of the battle in the temple are very vague. It is not that the great monk Zheng likes 'riddles'.
But how should I describe it.
From the words in the inscriptions, ancient documents and other materials, we can feel that the ancestors were afraid of something. They seemed to be worried that the transmission of a few words would become the carrier of the rebirth of 'light' and 'shadow'. "
"I see, I understand." The professor who had been silent until now sighed, "The ancient ancestors were limited by technology, so it is normal to have such fears.
I have one more piece of the 'puzzle' that may answer the last doubt in your mind. "
Everyone's attention focused on the old dragon man.
"Black Eclipse Dragon and Sky Dragon, well, let's use these two names. Do you know them, or how this creature reproduces?"
Anhill and Gordon, who had speculated about "transgender" before, looked at each other.
The professor had no intention of waiting for anyone else to speak, and continued: "In the process of fighting the black dragon several times with Hayata, and being infected with the dragon disease monster, the professor brought us many biological specimens.
After repeated research, we found that the scale powder spread by the black dragon is not only the carrier of the mad dragon virus, but also a spore itself, a reproductive cell.
Yes, the Black Erosion Dragon is a parthenogenetic creature. This reproduction method usually appears in more primitive life forms, such as mushrooms. "
"Countless shadows fall on the earth and grow new buds. That's what it means. It turns out that's what it means. That's it. That's it." The monk was murmuring to himself.
An Xil's expression was subtle, "You mean, the Black Eclipse Dragon spreads scale powder, spreads disease and spores, and then new Black Eclipse Dragons grow out of the ground? This is too much."
"It's not sprinkled on the ground, but 'parasitized'" the professor corrected: "Monsters infected with rabid dragon disease will become a breeding ground for the parasites of the black dragon's reproductive cells.
As the disease progresses, these germ cells will gradually develop into embryos, larvae, and eventually break out of the body. "
"Breaking out of the body?!" Feng Ying's whole body was numb, and she pressed her belly in horror.
She accidentally swallowed monster blood containing the Mad Dragon Virus about ten days ago. When the professor said this, she always felt like she was pregnant with a monster for no reason.
"Don't worry, humans will get sick, go crazy, and even die because of the rabid dragon virus, but they cannot become a breeding ground for black dragons."
The professor glanced at Feng Ying, who was running over, and continued: "Because humans do not have enough 'matter' to provide sufficient nutrition and energy for embryonic development.
You have encountered the peach-haired beast king who was infected with the dragon disease before, right? It is also impossible for a black dragon to be born in a monster of that size. Perhaps only a large flying dragon can become a real hotbed. "
"Okay, okay." Feng Ying breathed a sigh of relief and ran back to the corner to continue squatting.
Gordon raised his hand and asked: "Based on the black dragon's ability to spread scale powder and the transmissibility of the mad dragon virus, even large flying dragons are not likely to be infected only one and two.
Is it possible that a large number of black dragons will be born at the same time? "
The hunters were shocked.
The strength of the Black Eclipse Dragon is higher than that of ordinary six-star monsters, but it does not reach the level of ancient dragon-level creatures. If it had not been infected with the Mad Dragon Disease and was relatively weak, the Bi-Tou Hunting Group would not have been defeated by the Black Eclipse Dragon.
but! That's just the case of a black eclipse dragon.
What if there are three heads, five heads, ten heads, or one hundred heads?
Can the hunters handle it?
The professor pushed up his glasses and said: "Based on the results of the current research, the situation is quite optimistic. It is very unlikely that the spores spread by the Black Eclipse Dragon will actually grow into embryos, develop into larvae or even adults, and break out of the body." events.
Those germ cells gave me a feeling of underdevelopment, how to describe it, like trying to gestate a sexually immature larvae.
It's theoretically possible, but the probability is extremely small. "
Gordon touched his nose. The professor's metaphor made everyone speechless, but it was also very straightforward and easy to understand.
"The light returns and darkness is born." The monk who said to himself suddenly raised his head, "The black dragon is a larvae! So it is difficult to reproduce.
But Tianyi Dragon is different. Death and rebirth may be necessary steps for this creature to become an adult. Only Tianyi Dragon is an adult that truly has the ability to reproduce!
If the Celestial Dragon has really descended on Sky Mountain, then the ‘disaster’ that has enveloped Sky Mountain will come.”
"It is really possible to give birth to countless black dragons." Gordon continued with a calm face.
"Is Tian Yulong a mature individual?"
The professor also nodded, "Although this theory has not yet been confirmed, the possibility is not low. If the Tianyuan Dragon is an adult, then it is indeed possible for it to reproduce a large number of offspring when it is sexually mature.
From this point of view, the crazy dragon disease that enveloped Sky Mountain may be different from the one in the south of the Old World. We need to confirm this as soon as possible. If this is true, the crusade against the Tianyuan Dragon will become an inevitable option.
The guild cannot allow countless black dragons to be born and cause chaos, which may destroy the world.
I need to conduct experiments immediately on the samples of infected people of the Mad Dragon Virus spread by Tian Yulong."
Everyone's eyes fell on Feng Ying in the corner of the nest.
Feng Ying pointed at herself, "Huh?"
Are you going to dissect yourself? !
"She can't do it, it's useless." The professor frowned, "The Mad Dragon virus and spores in her body have lost their activity under the inhibition of the medicine. I need more 'fresh' specimens."
Feng Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but muttered, "It sounds like we are a pickled salted fish."
Aiden on the side chuckled.
"Fresh samples are not hard to come by. We can immediately enter the hunting ground and capture a small monster, such as a velociraptor or a spiritual deer." Hayata suggested.
"That's the best." The professor nodded in agreement.
"Hold on."
Gordon made a gesture to ask Hayata, who was about to get up, to calm down. "Since the Sky Dragon is an adult and may be more active in spreading the virus, we can no longer prepare according to the standards for dealing with the Black Dragon. .
Professor, you mentioned before what the "clue" is to completely solve the dragon disease. Please elaborate on it. "
